Emperor Zhou's gaze drifted over the top of Zhaoyang's head and eyes without a trace.

The top of her head was stained with a milky white spot near her scalp, and her inky eyes seemed to be a faint crimson at the moment.

Emperor Zhou looked away without a trace and turned around, "Come with me, I will take you to meet Xi'er." ”

Looking at his father's outstretched hand, Zhaoyang's expression was blank and he didn't take it.

"Alas...... I've suffered you all these years, but I also have a hard time. At that time, I didn't have the ability to protect myself, and if it was suddenly revealed that your mother was not dead, not only would I not be able to protect her, but even you would be in danger, so I deliberately showed that I didn't care about you. ”

Seeing that Zhaoyang was still expressionless, he let out another long sigh, "I know that you won't forgive me in a short time, but it's okay, I can wait." Now come with me to meet your mother. ”

He walked outside, and although Zhaoyang didn't say anything, he did follow his footsteps.

There are very few chamberlains patrolling this side of the cold palace, and the palace maid will naturally not stay here, of course, it may also be a special order from Emperor Zhou.

In short, he took Zhaoyang all the way without encountering others, and came to a remote but quite warm courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, the two palace maids guarding the door knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

"Well, stay at the door and don't let anyone else in."

After giving the order, Emperor Zhou pushed open the door of the house and walked in with Zhaoyang.

Walking all the way to the door of the bedroom, Emperor Zhou's hand paused slightly, but he still pushed the door open.

The door of the house slowly opened, revealing all the secrets of this place in front of Zhaoyang.

There was a woman in the room with a disheveled head, and she was sitting on the bed with a demented expression.

And there's a little rocker next to the big bed, and there's nothing in the bed.

The woman was gently pushing the small shaker at the moment and smiling stupidly, "Chaoyan...... Shrewd...... Mother's face ...... Good ......"

Lu Chaoyan, this name Zhaoyang is very familiar, but it is also very unfamiliar.

Familiar because it's her name.

Strange because ...... She had only heard this name once, that is, when she was just sensible, her mother once called her name in her sleep.

"That day, Xi'er was poisoned and disguised as a hanged person, and I had no choice but to hang her life with medicine. Fortunately, Xi'er survived the poison, but her mind was invaded by the poison, and there was no room for maneuver. I am afraid that if your mother is not dead, it will be harmful to you, so I have been hiding this from you and dare not get too close to you. ”

Emperor Zhou sighed deeply, "However, Xi'er's health has been getting worse day by day recently, and the time limit is approaching, before she leaves...... I thought you still needed to see her. ”

Zhaoyang looked at the woman silently.

She's feeling weird right now.

Father and mother, they seem to love themselves very much.

They all seem to have a reason to explain why they didn't care about themselves in the past.

But today's Zhaoyang is no longer the Zhaoyang of the past.

"Really......"

Her eyes were slightly red, and tears were still hanging from her eyes, "But what's the use of saying this now......

"Alas......"

With another sigh, Emperor Zhou's face was kind, and he raised his hand to pat the top of Zhaoyang's head, "I have been paying attention to you, and I have worked hard along the way." I heard that there is a master who has been guiding my Zhaoyang along the way, I wonder where that master is? I have to thank you in person. ”

Tears in Zhaoyang's eyes ran down his cheeks, "He's gone, he doesn't want me anymore......"

"Gone? It seems that he is really a hermit master who doesn't care about fame and fortune. Emperor Zhou said softly, "Zhaoyang, do you know where he is going?" For the protection of my daughter, I must thank him again. ”

He stretched out his hand and wanted to take the crying Zhaoyang into his arms to show his father's love, but Zhaoyang directly avoided him.

"Zhaoyang?"

"I don't know where he went." Zhaoyang looked at his loving father calmly, "It's just that Father, you are acting too fake." ”

Emperor Zhou's expression was dazed, "Zhaoyang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's too fake, Father."

Zhaoyang's eyes narrowed slightly, "With his character, even if he abandons me, he will talk to your father before leaving, after all, you plan to use him as a pawn." With his character, it is impossible to leave without doing anything. Father, I'm afraid it's not easy for you right now. ”

She looked at the demented mother again, "Whether the mother is alive or not, this matter does not matter to me. Actually, when you first said you had something to tell me, I really believed that you had always cared about me. It's a pity ......"

Seeing that the warm smile on Emperor Zhou's face disappeared, Zhaoyang said lightly: "What you said is not the thing I want to know. ”

Emperor Zhou pondered, "Then what do you want to know?" ”

Zhaoyang raised his hand and looked at it, "Why am I a half-demon?" ”

At this moment, Zhaoyang has perfectly substituted Li Shuhong's thinking mode.

She wasn't sure if her father was using her or if she really had a father-daughter relationship.

So the moment she saw her father, she planned to test it.

First of all, she felt that with Li Shuhong's character, even if it was beneficial to herself, she would still be very unhappy to be used to deal with King Zhennan and some of the forces in the rivers and lakes.

So Li Shuhong will definitely go to her father!

And her father is not dead now, which means that her father paid a certain price to escape from Li Shuhong's hands, or it may be that Li Shuhong let him go.

There are also two explanations here.

If Li Shuhong let him go, it means that he should really care about himself.

In that case, the secret he wanted to tell should be the reason why he was half-demon.

But he didn't say that his so-called secret was that his mother was not dead.

This shows that his deep affection for his father and daughter is fake, and he is still trying his best to play, and he also plans to test whether Li Shuhong is going away from his mouth.

It shows that he is afraid.

In other words, he did suffer at the hands of Li Shuhong.

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Zhaoyang continued: "Since my father doesn't want to say it, then it's up to me to say." I'm a half-demon, but the mother concubine is a real human being, originally I thought she was having an affair with a monster, and the biggest possibility was Huang Zhonglang, but he flatly denied it and didn't seem to be a fake.

"So I thought of one thing, he is a monster, and it is also the mouth seal of his mother that helped him transform into a shape, but why should he listen to his father's words? Even if the mother is not there, he should have listened to me from the beginning. Unless...... The other party is a stronger youkai.

"And I'm a half-demon, the mother concubine is a mortal, if the mother concubine didn't have an affair with outsiders, then no matter how bizarre the answer is, it's the truth."

Zhaoyang raised his head and said lightly: "Father, you are a monster." But I still don't know something, why aren't my royal brothers and sisters half-demons like me? ”

Then it dawned on her, "So that's why you've been following me all the way, because I'm the only one of your children who has inherited your youkai bloodline." So...... Are you my father or not? ”

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Zhou chuckled, "Of course I am your father, but I never thought that he would teach you so much. ”

He looked at his daughter strangely, as if he were looking at a treasure and like he was looking at a monster.

More, or greed.

"But what if you knew? You can't resist me after all. ”

He grabbed Zhaoyang with one claw!

But the next moment, he stopped.

"It turns out that you have awakened."

The Zhaoyang in front of him is no longer what it used to be.

Now she has long milky white hair flying, and the eyes on her face are full of wild crimson.
